There's a new thing (fanotify). LWN did a short series on different filesystem notification methods in July:

Unfortunately the fanotify article is yet to come!

(Having said that, I certainly appreciate your pain trying to use inotify to track write events on an entire filesystem)

fanotify is super limited, and not useful for this app. It's from 2009, but has seen little use.
